The Uniformer

What if a 60-second body scan could transform the way uniform programs are designed, issued, and managed?

In this episode of The Uniformer, Rick Levine sits down with Ryan Harpur and Jamie Park from Bodd to explore how the company's innovative SizeMatch technology is changing the future of uniform sizing.

Ryan explains how Bodd creates a 3D digital twin of each wearer, capturing hundreds of body measurements in just one minute to recommend the correct garment size. The discussion covers how digital sizing eliminates the inefficiencies of manual measuring, reduces returns, improves employee satisfaction, and helps organizations better manage inventory across large uniform programs.

Jamie shares his journey from Brooks Brothers to Bodd and recounts the award-winning United Airlines uniform rollout, where more than 57,000 employees were scanned worldwide. The project demonstrated how accurate sizing technology can streamline fittings, reduce excess inventory, lower return rates, and deliver significant cost savings while creating a better experience for employees.

The conversation then looks beyond uniforms as Ryan introduces Bodd's next-generation scanner, which expands into health and wellness applications including body composition, vital signs, range of motion, grip strength, vision screening, and workforce analytics. Together, they discuss how body data could reshape garment design, inventory planning, employee wellness initiatives, and the future of workplace safety.

Whether you're involved in uniforms, apparel technology, or workforce innovation, this episode offers a fascinating look at how digital body scanning is evolving from a sizing tool into a powerful platform for improving both operational efficiency and the employee experience.
